He had some kind of beef with the SEC over some kind of investment deal or something like that, but he is a legit real estate guru and his methods align with how I got started, minus a rich father in law to help finance things.

I have grown my AirBnb's into a handful Guest Favorites and rank in the top 5% and I'm always improving.

Have those methods changed since you’ve first started and how do you organize them?

The two house hacking methods I find myself recommending to clients are 1.

The biggest issue that came with this method is that it still works great for VRBO, but now after an AirBnb booking I have to ask the guest for their email to get this process started.Zapier is also monitoring for the returned signed RA and that point then sends out all the info the guests needs for their stay.The rest of the email automation is handled by the PMS.My biggest pain, is when I get a difficult guest, or when things break mid stay.

My overall favorite part is the the designers/owners Dave and Susan are always there to help or answer any questions.
